COOL NURSING SITE AWARD

Ellen Bosman's web site Transcultural & Multicultural Health Links http://www.lib.iun.indiana.edu/trannurs.htm has been selected as The Cool Nursing Site of the week for February 22, 1998. (see: http://www.odyssee.net/~fnord/nurselink.html). The Cool Nursing Site was "developed to aid nurses, and those interested in the profession, find quality web sites." Bosman's site was chosen based on merit and qualified as a "well thought out meta-list." The CNS award project is non-commercial and non-sponsored. Bosman is Assistant Librarian and Head of Technical Services at IUN.

2. INTERNATIONAL OPPORTUNITIES FOR LIBRARIES AND LIBRARIANS

Guidelines 1997-98

The Office of International Programs offers grant opportunities to support libraries and librarians at any IU campus for a range of projects and activities aimed at developing the international collections of their libraries, or enhancing their ability to take advantage of international opportunities regarding library development. Types of proposals supported include: international travel to specific world areas for print and media acquisitions; domestic or international travel to examine special collections that might enhance the university's holdings, or to collaborate with colleagues at other institutions on international projects; domestic or international travel to special book or media fairs featuring international content; visits to funding agencies in the U.S. or abroad to identify and coordinate support for special or unique library projects with an international focus. One-time funding is also available for projects that enhance user access to IU's international collections and resources.

Proposals must have a major international dimension. Proposals will be enhanced if they can demonstrate a commitment of matching funds from relevant units (area studies centers, departments, schools, or the IU Libraries). Acquisition travel proposals must include a commitment from the campus library that acquisition funds will be available.

ELIGIBILITY: Tenured and tenure-track librarians at any IU campus

DEADLINE: March 15

FUNDING: Awards range between $500 to $3,000
